Bungie's Marathon Faces Development Challenges and Uncertain Future

Internal sentiment at Bungie is reportedly pessimistic about Marathon's progress and 2025 release target.

Marathon's development has been marked by delays and leadership changes, including the departure of key figures earlier this year.
Playtesters have shown a lack of enthusiasm, raising concerns about the game's reception upon release.
Bungie has faced significant layoffs, affecting the morale and stability of the development team.
The game, a revival of a 1994 sci-fi shooter, aims to be a PvP extraction shooter but struggles with live service fatigue.
Marathon is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with no confirmed release date.
